That was Klez's 2nd guess.

Plow? Snow?

You know, if you hadn't confessed to secretly loving plowing the snow on FB ...

And I could have sworn it said KHAN!

Now if people would only stop posting in the old pub ... more than 12 hours after the new one was created!!!

Also, I feel like once there was a time when I could spend hours actively online, interacting with people. Now if it takes me twenty minutes to catch up, that's a long time. Where has everyone gone? What sites did I used to go to that would suck my life away? is it me? Have i changed, or has the online community changed? Perhaps a little of both?

Ponder.

Well, we no longer have 30+ pages in the Pub each week.

Plus, with the three a week offers on Wine.Woot, there was more interaction on the Wine thread. Now, with daily offers, it's too hard to keep up, so most just lurk. If they bother, that is. I know I don't bother anymore.

I guess Buffalo people will stop wootlegging from Michigan now for Trader Joe stuff. I agree with Sparky, I'm here on the pub but I very rarely check the main thread, plus people seemed to have gotten busier.

There's never a good time to buy a cell phone. Take a look at what's currently available and pick one unless something you really want is available soon. Keep in mind that many new handsets take a few extra months to come to the US so that they have time to load them all up with bloatware.

I'm liking the new crop of 1280x720 and 1920x1080 screens with seriously high dpi. Puts the iphone's high dpi to shame

I'm sucked into work more completely most of the time these days. That and the main thread isn't what it used to be. Lots more kvetching and a lot less wine talk. Glad I learned a bunch back in my first couple years lurking here

Sorry about both. Maybe if you snorted Apple Vinegar? Or is that drinking it? Or whatever it was they talked about using AV for.

Here on the northern plains, we don't expect to see 67 degrees until May or so.

Why on earth do I live here again?
